Saudi Religious Police Members Assaulted
2004-02-11
Two members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice were hospitalized with stab wounds after an assault in Al-Aflaj near Riyadh on Tuesday.
That's where they keep that poor duck in bondage...
The assault occurred as a man and his wife were traveling together by car. The driver saw a vehicle belonging to the commission behind him and felt that it was following him. He stopped and accused the two commission members of stalking him which they denied, explaining they were doing a routine patrol.
"Youse guys are followin' us, ain't you?"
"Just a routine patrol, bub."
The man refused to accept their story and prevented them from leaving as he phoned his father.
"Hello, Pop? Sonny, here. There's two beardo-coppers here, been followin' me around. I think they got the hots for the Little Woman!"
When the father arrived, an argument followed and he stabbed the two commission members who were then rushed to the hospital. “They have been released from the hospital and are now resting,” said a member of the commission.
"Ooooh! Spit! Mahmoud! Who wuz that guy?"
"I dunno, Ahmed. Is there any of that pain medication left?"

#1  About time someone gave the Muttawa’a a lesson.
Unfortunately, poor ole pa is going lose in the long run.
Another tale from the 70's. A German woman, wearing a mid-calf length skirt, was walking alone on a crowded street of Riyadh. A Muttawa’a came from behind and started whacking her on the legs with his punishment stick. Much to the delight and cheers of the onlookers, she wrested the stick from him and chased him down the street. If these hated clowns weren't protected by the Crown, there would be many more incidents such as the one described in TS's post.
